Numbers 32:4-6

Living Bible

^3-4 “The Lord has used Israel to destroy the population of this whole countryside—Ataroth, Dibon, Jazer, Nimrah, Heshbon, Elealeh, Sebam, Nebo, and Beon. And it is all wonderful sheep country, ideal for our flocks. ⁵ Please let us have this land as our portion instead of the land on the other side of the Jordan River.”

⁶ “You mean you want to sit here while your brothers go across and do all the fighting?” Moses demanded.
